In his first-ever interview, the sole Australian survivor of the Waco siege has revealed to 60 Minutes what really took place during the 51-day stand-off, and why he believes crazed cult leader David Koresh will one day return to Earth as the son of God.

A new rose for unsung heroines of NSW

Little is known about the NSW governors' wives who have served the state "remarkably" for more than 220 years, but a brand new rose and a historical project are set to change all that.

This week Linda Hurley- the wife of current governor David Hurley - planted "The Governor's Wife" grandiflora rose in the gardens of NSW Government House, honouring the contributions of these women over the years.

"We know a great deal about our governors of New South Wales and very little about their wives," Ms Hurley said in a speech during Thursday's ceremony, alongside former governors' wives Lady Suzanne Martin and Lady Joan Cutler.

A typical agenda for Ms Hurley can include days starting at 9am and finishing after 10pm.

Her responsibilities include visiting schools and countless volunteer organisations such as the Australian Red Cross, hosting award ceremonies and reaching out to community members in need.

When Ms Hurley first arrived at NSW Government House nearly three years ago she was baffled by the lack of historical records of her predecessors.

Teaming up with The Historical Society, Ms Hurley is writing a book exploring the lives of all the wives, including one of her favourites, the "generous and gutsy" Anna King, NSW's first governor's wife.
